Well done piece on the man who brought efficiency and dehumanization to the world's factories in the early 20th century. He became fabulously rich making other rich people even richer and as a result became the usual arrogant megalomaniac that plagues the capitalist world.
This film centered on a safari he organized and led which went from Edmonton over the Rockies in 1934 using horses and half-tracks. There were no roads but at that point in his life he believed there was nothing he could not do. He was wrong. He also hobnobbed with kings, ex-kings, nazis, captains of industry and other slime until they turned on him.
He ended up dying in North Africa after his luck and money ran out.
Except for period details this guy could have been one of France's Louis. Watta jerk.
